Objective & Plot Summary
The main pedagogical objective is to reinforce memorization and recognition of A1 level vocabulary related to clothes (hat, shirt, trousers, dress, etc.) by developing the ability to categorize and identify a word belonging to a different lexical field. The resource is an "Odd One Out" exercise composed of several lines of four words. In each line, three words belong to the lexical field of clothes, while one word is an intruder (e.g.: apple, bread, water, juice, pen) from other basic themes such as food, drinks, or supplies. The student must circle this odd word out.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): ACTIVATE AND VISUALIZE VOCABULARY
-
Getting started: The teacher distributes the worksheet and writes 'Clothes' on the board. Ask students to point to, or verbally name, an item of clothing they are wearing and whose English word they know.
-
Concept introduction: Ensure students understand the 'Odd One Out' instruction. Give a simple categorization example (e.g.: car, bike, dog, bus), asking for justification.
During the activity (~15-20 min): ANALYZE AND DISCRIMINATE
-
Step 1: Individual and discreet resolution (10 min). Students work unaided to read and circle the odd one out. Encourage them to deduce the meaning of unknown words based on the general theme (Clothes).
-
Step 2: Cross-check and categorization (5-10 min). In pairs, students compare their choices. They prepare a clear justification for the odd one out, naming the category of the other three words (e.g.: « Apple is the odd one out because the others are **clothes** »).
After the activity (~10 min): FROM CLASSIFICATION TO DESCRIPTION
-
Collective correction: Correction on the board with pronunciation verification. Ask students to group the clothes words found into sub-categories (Headwear, Tops, Bottoms, Footwear).
-
Oral production: Ask students to choose two items of clothing from the list and combine them with a learned color to describe their favorite outfit (e.g.: « I like my blue **jeans** and my red **t-shirt** »).
Adaptations
-
To simplify: Allow a quick image verification (via an illustrated dictionary or Google Images) for less common clothing words, to focus the cognitive effort solely on discriminating the odd one out.
-
To deepen: "The Clothes Weather" Challenge: ask students to select appropriate clothing from the list for two different weather conditions (e.g.: It is cold and rainy, It is hot and sunny), justifying their choice (e.g.: « I need a **coat** and **boots** when it's cold »).
